"India" is too large and diverse to characterize either it or its people with simple, univocal statements.
Almost any single thing, asserted about "all India" or "all Indians," will fail to bear out across one and a half BILLION people.

I just straight up guessed a vim keybinding that I've never used before, and got it right on the first try.

So for a while now I've had a spare 256GB SSD sitting around from when I upgraded my laptop to 1TB. I've been meaning to set it up as the boot drive on my Raspberry Pi-based home NAS, which up until now has been booting off of a cheap 128GB USB thumb drive.

I've attempted Advent of Code every year since 2020, but I've never finished
This year I'm aiming for a personal best, seventeen stars or more (I got 16 last year) 💪😎

Purposefully and strategically waiting to bring forward scandalous information about a public figure until scandal is maximally politically damaging to the accused party should be prosecuted as libel even if the scandalous information turns out to be true and the scandal deserved

A recent revelation that's been making a difference: if some piece of media isn't doing it for you, you can just DNF it and move on

Just finished Inside Out 2, a couple months late
Overall a decent movie. Pretty confident saying it's not as good as the first one. But still useful/valuable in similar ways (as illustration/conversation starter/learning aid)

I have been using Roam Research close to daily since March 7th, 2020 (I know because I marked that date... in Roam Research)
That's three years, eight months, two weeks, and four days
I've been going back through over the last few days and curating the ~35k pages I have created in that time

There's something special in the way kids look at/up to their heroes
Have you ever met a 3yo who just adores Elsa or Lightning McQueen as absolutely, untouchably awesome
It's a kind of love that we're born feeling, before life teaches us to hold it back
We can relearn it, though
Jesus is my hero

Realized this evening that it would be convenient to have a JSON encode/decode library written in my darling indie darling programming language of choice (the library everybody already uses for JSON calls out to C)
So, I just... wrote one. And it works.
Feels good man 👍🙂

We need a term for "deliberate attribution of the worst conceivable motive to a person or group, with the express purpose of terminating as much rational thought about their actual statements and actions as possible"
Something like "Toxic, propagandistic misconstrual of intent"
But, catchier
